Description

This book addresses the ethical issues raised by mental illness and its treatment by focusing on the question of autonomy. The mentally ill may be regarded as non-autonomous by virtue of irrationality, which may result in treatment models which deny them a voice. As a counter to this, some have moved to the other extreme and argued that the mentally ill must be regarded as fully autonomous in all circumstances, and consequently that all their wishes regarding treatment must be respected. This book examines the ethical consequences of such simplistic approaches towards autonomy, offering a nuanced exploration of how mental health care can balance patient agency with clinical responsibility. Published by Routledge as part of the New Critical Thinking in Philosophy series, it provides healthcare practitioners, philosophers, and students with essential frameworks for understanding the complex ethical landscape of mental health treatment.
